Hunan·Zhangjiajie | This guide makes your trip a breeze!!
Many friends become more confused after reading the travel guides for Zhangjiajie😵, don't worry, just read this one and you'll be set😎! Just follow it and have fun!!!
Zhangjiajie's trip mainly consists of three parts: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, and Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon🎡.
Most people arrive in Zhangjiajie at noon, leaving only half a day🕛, feeling it's too late to visit any place, you can first go to Tianmen Mountain🌄. But pay attention to the time range on the ticket🎫!!
1️⃣Itinerary🗺
🏯Tianmen Mountain
Only one day is needed, there are three options for the same route: A, B, and C:
A: Take the big cable car up➕fast cable car down, downhill mode.
B: Take the fast cable car up➕big cable car down, climbing mode.
C: Take the fast cable car round trip, climb and then go down the mountain mode.
❗️Personal recommendation for A: Going downhill is more relaxed, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and it's not too tiring😜. On the way down, you'll hear others saying 'I chose C, I'm so tired, how much longer to finish climbing', then you'll know how wise it was to choose A😏!!!
🏯Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Day1: East Gate→Bailong Elevator→Yuanjiajie→Yangjiajie→Tianzi Mountain→Tianzi Mountain Cableway→East Gate
Day2: East Gate→Ten-mile Gallery→Golden Whip Stream→Huangshi Village→Oxygen Bar Square→South Gate
Hiking sections🏃🏻: Ten-mile Gallery 4.5 km, Golden Whip Stream 7.5 km, Huangshi Village uphill route 3.5 km.
❗️Personal suggestions:
1. There are eco-friendly cars available at each scenic spot, mountain roads can cause motion sickness, remember to prepare motion sickness medicine💊.
2. Choose good weather, otherwise, it might be all foggy🌫️.
3. There are many monkeys on the mountain, do not carry very fragrant food, and do not wear too bright clothes, to avoid being scratched🤕.
🏯Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon
Only one day is needed, there are two routes to choose from:
A route (Grand Canyon only): Visitor Center→One Line Sky→Rainbow Square→Touching Cave→Shenquan Lake Cruise🛳️→Exit
B route (Grand Canyon➕Glass Bridge): Visitor Center→Glass Bridge→Bridge East Experience Center→Glass Plank Road→Experience Projects→Rainbow Square→Touching Cave→Shenquan Lake Cruise🛳️→Exit
❗️Personal suggestions:
1. You can try the high-altitude zip line for the experience projects😎.
2. The self-paid cruise at Rainbow Square is not necessary, walk a little further and there is a free cruise to the exit of the scenic area🚢.
2️⃣Food🥙
1. Master Hu's Three Hot Pots, Old Tian's Three Hot Pots: Traditional food of Zhangjiajie, recommended with walnut meat➕pork intestine➕beef tripe🥘. Also, their lotus root slices and potato cake are delicious😋.
2. Pig Brain Cold Noodles: Recommended pig ear cold noodles🐷.
3. Berry Tea🍵: Refreshing and sweet taste, rich and lingering, slightly bitter aftertaste, not astringent at all. I really like the taste of berry tea😍!
4. Haozi Baba: Crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside, slightly numbing taste😃.
5. Xiangxi cured sausage, cured meat: Homemade by Tujia people, evenly fat and lean, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is🥩.
6. Sour Fried Fish: A dish for hosting guests in Xiangxi, crispy on the outside and tender inside🐟.
7. Black Chicken Gastrodia Soup: Made with black chicken and gastrodia, highly nutritious and tastes great👍!
